What Can I Do To Help?
FLL/FLL Jr. is 100% Volunteer based. Each team needs 2 adult coaches. Don't worry, you don't need any experience! You are there to support and guide the kids, but the kids do all the work! We have plenty of experience and can help show you and the kids all you need to know to start a FLL /FLL Jr. team.
